[FREE TOOL]Cointikka: Tools for Bitcoin Holders & Bitcointalk Users

[Cointikka]

I now feel this project is complete. I have added a lot of free tools to the existing rank-up tracker for now, which will not be free in a few months. After I checked the amount of traffic I am gaining, I am planning to put this tool under a domain name. That I will do after I create an ANN page on the relevant board.
I am using the AI to tell you the USPs of my free tool. So please ignore if you are from the AI detection in-house enthusiastic users team (who use AI to detect AI content )
What was my original Plan?
It was simple: create a rankup tracker using vibe coding to help users who hold Jr.Member rank to Senior Member. I used the feedback given to me on this thread and created a tool that is not only for Bitcointalk users but also for Bitcoin holders and for those who plan to be part of the Bitcoin journey. Isn't that an amazing idea for a startup?

I created a few tools dedicated to those who hold Bitcoin and who are paying for these features, which are free for now. I am listing those tools below.

📈 Rank & Merit Tracker
This is the heart of Cointikka. Drop in your UID and it pulls your live Activity, Merit, sMerit, and Total Posts straight off the forum — no more manually checking your profile page every hour like a paranoid Newbie. You get a visual rank ladder showing exactly where you stand between Newbie and Legendary, a Today's Checklist for quick daily wins, and a full Rank Requirements table so you always know exactly what's standing between you and your next promotion. If you've ever lost track of your Activity math, this alone will save you.

🧠 Merit Lab (inside the Tracker)
Ever stare at the "New Topic" button with zero idea what to post? Merit Lab fixes that. It gives you live regional news + CoinGecko "Market Movers" for local board discussions, plus rank-matched topic suggestions for merit-active global boards like Bitcoin Discussion or Economics — each one tagged 🟢/🟡/🔴 so you know if it's underserved or already beaten to death. There's also a built-in Merit Guide that finally explains merit → sMerit math in plain English.

📊 Merit Analytics, Rank Predictor & Goals/Streaks (inside the Tracker)
This is the part that keeps me coming back honestly. Analyze shows your raw stats and trends, Insights surfaces milestones you'd have otherwise missed, and Perspective gives you the "why keep grinding" long view based on your actual history — not generic motivational fluff. The Rank Predictor projects a realistic promotion timeline from your real posting velocity and merit pace. And streaks here are sync-verified against real Activity movement across different days, so it can't be gamed by just opening the app and closing it again.

🗳️ Signature Campaign Tracker
(unlocks at Member rank) — Built for anyone running sig campaigns. "Count Your Post" gives you This Week vs Last Week totals with board-by-board and day-by-day breakdowns, while "Check Your Post" gives you a searchable, sortable log of every individual post with a direct link, so you're never scrambling to prove your weekly count to a campaign manager again.

🎯 Merit & Bounty Opportunities (inside the Tracker)
Live-pulled straight from the forum, filterable by Signature / Bounties / Games & Rounds, so you can see what's actually open right now instead of digging through five different ANN threads.

🔍 Profile Analyzer & Forum Veteran Score (inside the Tracker)
Profile Analyzer rolls your activity, merit, and posting patterns into one Profile Health Score with personalized, actionable recommendations plus a rank-comparison table showing exactly what separates you from the next tier. Veteran Score is just for fun but it's a nice touch — a 0-100 score based purely on your synced stats, plus your "Bitcoin Era Generation" and how many halvings you've witnessed since you joined. There's even a shareable Veteran Summary Card if you want to flex it in your sig or a post.


📊 Bitcoin DCA Calculator (Free, no UID needed)
Model what a recurring Bitcoin buy — daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — would've turned into over time, fees included, using real historical prices pulled live from CoinGecko. Great for anyone in here trying to decide whether to lump-sum or stack sats steadily.

🧾 Bitcoin Tax Calculator (Free, no UID needed)
Log your buys, sells, income (mining/staking/airdrops/payments), gifts, donations, and internal transfers, pick your jurisdiction and cost-basis method, and get an estimated gain/loss breakdown — all calculated and stored locally on your own device. Not a substitute for a real tax pro, but genuinely useful for keeping your own records straight instead of a messy spreadsheet.

💰 Bitcoin Profit Calculator (Free, no UID needed)
Pick any purchase date back to April 2013, compare it to today (or any other date), and see what that stack would be worth now — complete with a price-journey chart and results in 160+ currencies. One-click "copy to clipboard" if you want to share your gains (or pain) in a thread.

🔎 Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer (Free, no UID needed)
A proper all-in-one explorer — look up addresses, transactions, and blocks, run conversions, track earnings, and check live fee rates, all with a top ticker showing current BTC price, latest block, mempool size, and sat/vByte fees at a glance. No need to bounce between five different sites anymore.

🕵️ Bitcoin Wallet Privacy Checker (Free, no UID needed)
Quick, no-nonsense check for whether you're reusing addresses — one of the most common (and avoidable) privacy leaks in Bitcoin. Worth running on any wallet you use regularly.

✂️ Image Cropper (Free, no UID needed)
Built specifically with avatars and signature images in mind. Drag-and-drop or paste, zoom/pan, rotate/flip, preset aspect ratios, a precision magnifier, automatic EXIF orientation fixing (so your sideways phone photos come in straight), and a batch queue if you've got a stack of images to crop in one go. It also hands off directly into BBCode Image Studio when you're ready to post.

🖼️ BBCode Image Studio (unlocks at Full Member rank)
Generates ready-to-paste BBCode for post images, topic/ANN banners, and sponsored image campaigns with custom dimensions per destination — no more hand-typing image tags or guessing at sizes. Handles multiple images at once too, so you can queue up a whole campaign's worth of banners in one sitting.


Everything above runs client-side — your stats, your tax entries, your images, all of it stays in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere. Give it a spin and let me know what you think, or what you'd want to see added next.

I appreciate you tried to create something for community, but I don't understand what's the point in having this rankup tracker?
We already have BPIP and BitList website providing more than enough information about forum profiles.
I tried using your website, but it's very confusing and I didn't find a way properly find member and change it later.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the user interface can be confusing, which is why I mentioned that I am still working on it. The reason I created this is to assess whether individuals who prioritize privacy are still interested in using Chromium-based extensions on an app that can be accessed on any device without compromising their privacy. [EDITED] I do not think the extension that you have mentioned can be easy and clear to understand for anyone new or trying to rank up here in this competitive and security focused enviornment.

Although we have excellent tools, such as those mentioned, I noticed that yours focuses exclusively on a single objective: tracking the ranking and measuring how much is left to reach the next one. It even includes a to-do list for this purpose. I don't think it can be compared to the others. It's interesting, and I didn't find it that complicated. I would include the option to change the colors in the light and dark styles, and in the dark style I would soften the contrast a bit, with less black (for example, the color #3B3B3B or something similar).

I think is about the way that he displays the data, there are a lot of data tools, but if someone finds a way to show that data on a nice pattern or more friendly for all and not only for high math skill guys.

I really liked the project, i know it was made with vibe coding, and it would be great if it becomes open source and you share the code with us to have fun.

Thanks for your feedback. It is still under construction. I will work on your feeback when I upgrade the tool with the next version.

Thanks for your feedback, and I trust that feedback from a known developer encourages me to work hard on my prompts and improve the logic behind the tool. As it is still work in pogress in the future if everything goes well with my planning I will make it an open source project.

[joniboini]

Cool project. I'm curious where do you pull the stats for which board is highly watched by merit sources? Do you track this independently or do you use other sources and compile it on your own? I haven't tried using my own profile yet, but it seems like fetching the profile takes quite a while. Not sure if my internet connection affects that or not. Feels a bit too slow considering my connection is quite fast though (albeit I use VPN regularly).

[MarryWithBTC]

I appreciate your effort to be able to build this. I also admire your passion to help newbies rank up.
The project is fine, but I feel there are a lot of information in it that could confuse some newbies. The formula is KISS (Keep It Simple and Straight). I also understand the nature of what you build demands so much explanations.

However, I have a different feelings to your project. Please don't be mad at me. I think that some of the tips or task will make newbies not to use the forum the natural way it should be used. I don't know if you understand me.

Take for instance this;

• Post in Bitcointalk discussion
• Reply to a Begineer’s question
• Write 3+ paragraph post
• Check new ANN threads
• Review signature campaigns
• Send sMerit to a quality post

I think it's leading users to use the forum not in their own way. I might be wrong that is my little input.

IMPORTANT NOTE

While onboarding, you will be asked to enter:
1. Username
2. UID
3. Select Local Board
4. Then fetch.

How about someone who doesn't belong to any locals, will they still proceed?

It's probably just what the AI came up with, since he mentioned that he used vibe coding to build the tool.

Yup, I agree. It does feel like you're just following pre-determined tasks instead of being a usual member. Maybe it's better if users can customize the checklist and choose what they want to do.

How about someone who doesn't belong to any locals, will they still proceed?

I tried the tool, seems like it's fine even if you don't choose a local board. It's optional, and it's main purpose is to provide you local crypto news and topic ideas.

[Cointikka]

I think it's leading users to use the forum not in their own way. I might be wrong, that is my little input.

Thanks for your feedback. You are right, the sounding of those checklists may come across too mechanical and task-oriented. I will surely refine those sections when I upgrade  the tool to the next version so the focus is mainly on healthy participation, learning, and contribution by anyone planning to use the tool for rank up.

How about someone who doesn't belong to any locals, will they still proceed?

Yes, they will still proceed. But under the Merit Lab tab, they will not get topic suggestions and local crypto news exclusively for their local board. They will only get a generic topic suggestion, and the suggestion is prioritized based on the current forum rank held by the user.

Thanks for the feedback. As of now, it is mostly based on the public Bitcointalk pattern and my research and observations. I am aware of which global boards merit sources are active, and that logic has been applied to the tool. The fetch speed mainly depends on the forum's response time, VPN routing, and Cloudflare delays. Sometimes there might be an issue with fetching, which is why I have also given the user the ability to manually enter the details and enter the tool.

Okay, so we can't really see the data publicly. It'd be interesting if you post such stats here. I'm sure it will lead to interesting discussion as long as it's clear how you collect and analyze the data. So it's safe to assume users internet quality has no impact on the fetching delays? I assume the CF itself is related to the server. I guess most people will end up inputting the data manually if the speed is too low anyway.

Not a single piece of data is collected by the tool or by me. I created this tool considering the fact that privacy should be the number one priority. The only data that is being collected is the UID, which is stored locally on the user's browser for fetching purposes. Yes, the internet quality does not impact on fethching of the data. If by any chance fetching fails, the user has the option to input the data manually. I am going to push an upgrade within few days which I am going to notify to the community on this thread.

Thank you for seeing reasons with me that the checklist seem to mechanical. I am looking forward to the improvement.

TBH, this will give new users a good direction as the platform is too wide and somehow not easy for newbies to comprehend.

The next update will have investigation abilities for anyone want to find the thief or the scammer. I am working on it, and if everything goes well, any user using this app will be able to identify Bounty, Signature campaign, games, and round alt accounts only by entering the UID. It is a work in progress; it will take time. Stay tuned for version 9.

[pawanjain]

Good efforts on the project @Cointikka Rankup tool looks interesting to me.
I see that you have included Local board in the best boards for merit, may be that's something you can consider.

Wow, this is going to be interesting. Kinda curious to know where you are getting info of alt accounts from.
May be you can include a scanning system from the reputation board to look for that information.

[Cointikka]

I have now pushed a new version. The earlier version was 8.1, and the new version is 8.2. A significant update has been made on the topic suggestion for the local board and global boards. Below is the list of changes in the new version.

Code:

##Live News Integration##
Topic suggestions can now use live Bitcoin and crypto news headlines.
If news data is available, the tool will use it alongside the existing topic database to generate posting ideas.

##Topic Suggestions##
Suggestions can now be generated from live headlines, market trends, and the existing topic database.
More weight is given to fresh and board-relevant topics.

##Source Tracking##
The tool now shows whether a suggestion came from live news, market movers, or the internal topic database.

##PWA / Branding##
Added favicon and Apple Touch icon support.
There may still be an issue with this feature, and I am investigating it.

##Other Changes##
Small improvements to sync/news handling.
Small improvements to streak tracking.

Please report on this thread if there is any issue. If you think another feature can be added or upgraded to the latest version, then do reply. I am always open to new suggestions. Thanks..

Great project, mate! Really interesting.
I saw that, like me, you’ve used Cloudflare Workers – what did you get on with this platform?
Did you use the free version? I’m asking because I’d like to buy the paid version but I’m looking for some feedback on it

[DYING_S0UL]

Ok, after using your site for a couple of minutes, this is what I think. Most of these info related to ranking up is already available on Bitcointalk, so it is kind of unnecessary to me.

The opportunity section is helpful though, I can easily track signature, bounty, or raffle contests. They are live data right?

And why would you need the UID? Can't the tool fetch data using username only?

Might be missing feature: I tried looking for the settings, but didn't find any. So once a profile is fetched and stored locally, how do I delete that data and add a new one? I'm not able to check others profiles/stats...

Thanks, mate! I have hosted my tool on Cloudflare for free, but I am not using any workers for it. I am working on my investigation tool, which I will attach to this tool, and I might use a worker or GitHub repository for scraping purposes. As of now, I have not bought any services from Cloudflare. Your project is very big, and for the amount of scraping that it does I think you will need to make a purchase.

And why would you need the UID? Can't the tool fetch data using username only?

Thanks for your feedback. UID is unique and does not change, whereas username can be similar and it can be changed, which is why I am using UID. I am going to add an exit or reset button in my future upgrade. Since the data is stored in the browser cache, you can delete the cache and start the tool. It will again start from the onboarding page.
